susan rice did not say it was the result of a mob spawned by a cairo. she said i want to remind the american people this president promised to go after bin laden, refocus on al qaeda. he got bin laden. al qaeda has been dismantled. and the truth of the matter nothing could have been further from the truth, and the story she told reinforced a political narrative helpful to the president. but disconnected from reality. >> let's be clear about what you're saying. you also heard senator feinstien say unequivocally that the notion that there was a cover-up or an attempt to mislead for political reasons is absolutely wrong. she says it's character assassination, the way you're criticizing her. you believe the president of the united states sent his ambassador to the u.n. out to mislead the american people so he could get some sort of political gain before the election? that's the cover-up you're accusing them of? >> i'm saying that the ambassador that had nothing to do with benghazi -- why would you choose someone who had nothing to do with benghazi to tell u
